  • Flowers for Hitler
rdfs:comment
  • Flowers for Hitler is Canadian poet and composer Leonard Cohen's third collection of poetry, first published in 1964 by McClelland & Stewart. Like other artworks regarding Adolf Hitler as a subject, it was somewhat controversial in its day. The inscription on its initial page reads "In an earlier time this would be called Sunshine for Napoleon, and earlier still it would have been called Walls for Genghis Khan." Unlike some of Cohen's later poetry, all of the poems in Flowers For Hitler are properly titled. The opening quote comes from Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz.
